Living in Malta: the ultimate expat guide

Everything you need to know for a successful life in Malta.

Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta is a prime destination for living abroad. The archipelago enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year and a mild Mediterranean climate, perfect for an outdoor lifestyle. English and Maltese are the two official languages, making professional and social integration straightforward.

The country attracts people for its favorable tax regime, employment opportunities, and strategic position between Europe and Africa. Living costs vary by location: Valletta, Sliema, and St Julian's are highly sought after, while Gozo offers a quieter setting.

Malta also appeals for its rich historical heritage, Mediterranean culture, and year-round access to the sea.
